The number of journalists imprisoned around the world hit a new record of 533 in 2022, up from 488 last year, according to a Reporters Without Borders (RSF) report published today.

A total of 57 journalists were killed during the year, due in part to the war in Ukraine, up from "historic lows" of 48 and 50 in the last two years, respectively, reports AFP.
